The value of "real" Amiga hardware

[Thorham]

at the end of the day a gfx card is better than no gfx card however

Depends on what you want from an Amiga.

For intensive data processing like I do, the Emulators slam the old hardware and leave it in the dust.

Of course, but what Amiga software are you running that requires so much speed to do? Isn't there any native peecee software that can do it too?
